We Tried Nancy Birtwhistle’s Floor Cleaner Recipe 🌿

At The Eco Boutique, we love simple, eco-friendly swaps that help reduce chemicals in the home and cut down on plastic waste. Recently, we tried Nancy Birtwhistle’s homemade floor cleaner – and we’re hooked!

This DIY recipe is not only effective and affordable, but it also uses ingredients you can pick up right here at the shop (or order online).

Nancy Birtwhistle’s Floor Cleaner Recipe 🧽

You’ll need:

• Warm water (around 500ml is perfect for a small bucket or spray bottle)

• 200ml white vinegar

• 50ml washing up liquid

• A few drops of essential oil – we chose refreshing lemongrass 🍋

Method:

1. Mix all the ingredients together in a spray bottle or small bucket.

2. Apply to your floor using a mop or cloth.

3. Enjoy a fresh, streak-free finish – without the harsh chemicals.
